Size

Baits, Method, & Location

Crappie

Fair

 

Crappie tend to congregate in large schools as the water cools. Fish around brushpiles and other structures with small jigs or spoons.

Channel Cat

Good

3/4lb plus

In the cooler weather months, channel cat can be caught on a variety of baits such as; liver, stinkbait, and shrimp. Drifting and fishing with shad sides or small, whole shad has proven to be very productive. If fishing from shore try off of jetties or near any rocky or woody areas.

Bluegill

Fair

Up to 1/2lb

With cooler water, fish for sunfish around structures and weed lines. It is best to use worms or small jigs this time of year.

White Perch

     

Rainbow Trout

Good

 

To catch trout try small spinners, spoons, flies, small crankbaits, power bait, worms, or corn.

Largemouth Bass

Poor

Up to 2lbs

When fishing for largemouth bass in the fall and winter, try jigs, plastic baits, spinner baits, or crank baits fished around structures or along weed lines.
